MLB.com's Ken Gurnick tweets that the Dodgers have worked out a one-year deal with reliever Hong-Chih Kuo worth $950,000. Kuo earned $437,000 in 2009.

Kuo worked thirty innings last season for the Dodgers, earning wins in both decisions he factored in. His ERA was an even 3.00 with very good peripheral stats.

Kuo's signing reduces the number of players whose cases are pending to 101. The Dodgers still have five arbitration eligible players with whom they will exchange figures today. They'll have until hearings begin to sign Jonathan Broxton, Andre Ethier, James Loney, Russell Martin and George Sherrill. Please visit the salary arbitration page for more information.
